“President De Laurentiis wants Lavezzi at Napoli, but we cannot talk about the future because there are so many conditions to evaluate,” Alejandro Mazzoni told Radio Crc this week in trying to clarify things.

“Pocho loves Napoli. It makes no sense to speak today about the market.

“As well as this is Napoli’s good relationship with Lavezzi. I do not think the President has an issue with the buyout clause, but, if any problem should arise then the club and the player will take the right decisions.

“[Walter Mazzarri] has played an important role in the maturation of Lavezzi. My client is of an age that allows him to feel comfortable, this is an excellent time both as a player and a man.

“The harmony of the players is the secret weapon at Napoli - the Azzurri has important players in attack and the Coach is good at handling the dressing room.”
